8.35.5 driver fails to load on recent Fedora Rawhide (upcoming F7)

Hi all,

First post to the forum although I have been reading the articles with keen interest. Now about my problem. I have a laptop with an X1300 and Fedora F7 Test 3 updated to the latest Rawhide. Today I build and installed the 8.35.5 drivers/apps, modified my xorg.conf and started X. No go. Apparently some versioning changed in the xorg server part which fglrx disagrees with causing X not to start. It gives this error:

I am the Fedora package maintainer for the official fglrx drivers, and unfortunately there is no fix at this time as the issue relies within the closed source portion of the driver. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like it will work either with this month's 8.36 driver release (I tried it and it failed).

Thanks for the info Michael. It's not a big issue since it's Rawhide. But it sure would be nice if this issue were fixed when F7 is released. I look forward to the release of 8.36 and play with it. By the way thanks for making it so easy to build the RPM packages. Much appreciated!

Hi Michael. Can you confirm that it still does not work with the final release of 8.36.5 (if different from what you already tested)? Thanks!
